25: Can attending events really change your life?
===
[00:00:00]
Jo: Hello, beautiful soul. And welcome back to the podcast. Holy cannoli. So I just got back from Vegas. For the second time this year. This time though, I attended a conference [00:01:00] and that's going to be the topic of this podcast episode. Can attending events really change your life. Can they really. When I talk about events, I'm talking about like conferences, like personal development seminars or conferences that are designed to help you take your life to the next level like Tony Robbins or Joe Dispenza or any of the conferences for network marketing professionals. Any of the conferences for self care. Do these events really work or do you attend them and then just go back to living your normal life. And I want to be clear because yes, you can absolutely get so much amazingness from these conferences. They can change your life and they might not. The difference between the person who gathers all of the information and applies it [00:02:00] versus the person who goes to the conferences, doesn't really care about the information doesn't absorb any of the information it doesn't implement it. And then just goes back home and doesn't apply anything. There's a big difference between the two. One of them is very interested and learning everything that they can from anybody there that they possibly can. And they know that they are there to pick out the golden nuggets from each of the speakers or each of the events that they attend during this conference. The other goes in feeling like they already know it or they don't have the capacity for change. They go in with the expectation that their life is not going to change. So it doesn't. Your expectation of these events, your belief about these events is a very a big deal. When you attend something like this. If you are in the mindset that you're not going to learn anything, you're [00:03:00] not going to learn anything. That's just plain and simple. That's it is what it is. Now the people who do go and they're looking to learn things, they are looking to pick up any of the golden nuggets that they possibly can. Sometimes they do come home and fall into their old habits and their old ways again. And this is because while they are in the conference while they are at the event. They are surrounded by people who have the same mindset as they do. They are surrounded by people who are going places who are willing to put in the work and when they come back home, They're taken out of that environment and maybe the people at home don't quite support them the way that they we're supported during the conference or the environment that they're in is just not conducive to the way that they are wanting to live their life now. So they come up against this barrier and for the people who kind of fizzle out and lose momentum after [00:04:00] these conferences. They tend to not stay connected with the people that they met at the conferences. And they don't stay quote, unquote, close to the fire. Is a term that people like to use in the personal development space, staying close to. The fire, staying close to the people who have the same vision and the same drive as you, because you are the combination of the five people that you hang around the most. Let me say that again, you are the combination of the five people you hang around the most. So take a look at your friend group. What are they doing with their lives? What are they doing with their free time? What are they doing? How are they behaving? Do they have the drive and the motivation that you're wanting? If not. It might be time for some new friends. Or to create an accountability group with some of the people that you met out at the event. Because yes, these events have the potential to change your life. If you are open to it. And [00:05:00] if you are willing to implement the things that you learned. Because when you are in it, it is so easy to be swept up with the amazing energy that you encounter. All of the people right there all around you. And when you get home, It's easy to fall back into your old patterns, your old behaviors. So, what do you do? How do you keep this from happening? Well, like I said, staying close to the fire for one. Making friendships at these events because these people are on the same wavelength as you. Your friends might not be in the Headspace of changing their life. They might not be ready. And that's okay. Everybody is on their own path. Everybody is walking their own journey. But if you are on this path and if you are ready to take your life to the next level, to maximize your results to collapse time.
I'm telling you, it is so much easier to do. If you [00:06:00] have a community of people who are on the same path who are there to support you who can talk to you about challenges and wins. Having a group of people, a community of people who are on the same wavelength who are on the same kind of journey. That you can talk to you about your wins, about your struggles, about your challenges. That is huge. Because nobody else will quite get it the way that somebody else who is on the same path as you gets it. Having that group of people who can help support you through that is pivotal. So that you don't just fall into the same patterns, the same routines. I'm pretty sure that was a lyric from a song. And I can't remember what it was. At this moment, but anyway, so can they really change your life? Absolutely. Will they? That's up to you. That's up to you. But I am telling you from experience because I just got back from that conference in Vegas. There is so much [00:07:00] energy. There is so much information. There are so many little golden nuggets that you can pick up throughout an event with speakers and personal development exercises and things. That will blow your mind. And being able to experience that with other people who are on the same journey. Who are doing the same kinds of things as you is incredible. And with that being said, I will be going to another conference in September, this one is more geared towards self care for women and learning how to really love yourself. And I'm really excited about that. So it's going to take place on Sunday, September 17th. At the w hotel in Philadelphia. I will leave the link below for tickets. I am not affiliated in any way. I do not get any commission or payment for advertising this, but I am very, very excited about going and I want to spread the word for [00:08:00] anybody else who wants to go and attend. An event like this. Because there's going to be so many good speakers. Brianna rose is going to be there. Danielle Massey is putting this whole thing together for us. There are two ticket options, the VIP ticket option and a general admission ticket. I'll leave the link below. If you are interested, let me know if you're going or not, so it would be really cool to have some friends there with me because yes, I will go and I will make friends and connections and network and meet all kinds of amazing people. But there is something about having somebody there with you that is just that, you know, that's just really special to be able to share the event with somebody else and be able to talk about it and debrief afterwards is really special. So, let me know if you're going click the link and get your ticket. They have special room rates for people staying at the w and they also have a special room rate for people staying at the element[00:09:00] philadelphia downtown. The element is a little bit cheaper and the w is right where the events taking place. So you won't have to go anywhere if you stay at the w. And like I said, that's taking place on Sunday, September 17th. So you've got a little bit of time to make arrangements, if you're going and then send me an email at [email protected]. And let me know if you are going. Let me know if I can see you there. And I will talk to you at next week.
